Lostock Sports & Social Club Northwich 26th & 27th August 2017.

All I can say is what an amazing weekend, starting off with a great acoustic show starring Theia, Michael Chimp Procter, Rob Lomax and the BBC acoustic band and Baxter.

Then the main event on Sunday was electric, the crowd were amazing, everyone was friendly and made you feel welcome. It was also a family event with kids and even more incredible, the youngest rocker attending this year was 1 years of age that’s right only one years old!!!

The day kicked off rocking with The Sourheads, who gave a great performance to start us off. Even though it was 12pm the beer was flowing and the head banging commenced as it meant to go on.

The next band to hit the stage were Black Cat Bones who played an awesome set with songs “Better Days” and “Devil You Know” just to name a couple. They also did a song called “Down To The River” where the lead singer played a mean harmonica solo. The band rocked the stage with even their merch seller having a good old mosh.

Next to rock the stage was Ryders Creed (previously known as – Black Rose Cadillac) who started a great set with the song “Ryder“. They also played “River man“, “Begging For More“, “Rise” and “Devil Road” just to name a few.

We then had The Senton Bombs come up and play a great set, followed by the awesome Baleful Creed who got the crowd up and dancing. Next up we had even more great music from Beckon Lane who had very little time to prepare as they were added to the line up in a week before RockWich, but that did not stop them putting on one amazing show.

It was at this point in the day that everyone gathered up inside to sing for Falling Red’s new music video. The crowd loved being involved in this and everyone sang their hearts out.

Hells Addiction were due to play next but due to travel issues, Beth Blade and the Beautiful Disasters were next. The Lancashire lady was ready and put on a good performance.

Maybe running a little late but still in good form, we had Hells Addiction. They came on and gave it their all, giving us an epic performance. There were a lot of fans amongst the crowd for Hells Addiction and seemed to love the show they put on.

It was now time for Regulus who really got the crowd going. There showman ship was amazing, getting everyone dancing including Abel Reed the one-year old rocker!! They played an array of songs including “Rock and Roll“, “Bones” and “The Minion“.

Mason Hill now, and they had a lot of diehard fans waiting to rock out. Unfortunately, halfway through the first song “Broken Son“, the mic died but that didn’t stop the lead singer from carrying on and belting out some awesome vocals. As soon as the technical problem was fixed, they carried on rocking the stage with songs “Your Memory“, “Out of Reach” and “Blame“.

Getting closer to the headlining act we had Knock Out Kane with their old school style, they tore the roof off the building!!! They had a laid back style of play with a great set list of songs. The lead singer was a great performer and even got his guitar out to play.

Next to bring us more great music were Screaming Eagles. With their Black Stone Cherry style of music, they gave us a performance of a life time. The singer was down to earth and very entertaining, jumping all around the stage. They kicked off the set with the song “Blood” and followed with more amazing original songs by the band such as “Hungry“, Soul“, “Road House” and “Ready for the Fall“. A great band to get us warmed up for the big one, the headliners!!!!

And ready to finish off such an amazing day in good old rock and roll fashion, were the Lancaster based rockers Massive Wagons. Kicking us off with their charity single “Back to the Stack” then straight into some heavy bass and guitars with “Nails“. These were followed up by two new songs “Under No Illusion” and “Last on the List“. They also gave us a wide range of tracks from all three albums including “Red Dress“, “Look Around“, “Ratio” and “Tokyo” and finished an amazing set that had the crowd rocking from start to end, with an amazing cover of the AC/DC classic “Thunderstruck“.

Overall the day was amazing, from the promoters to the crowd, the bar staff and of course every band who played gave us a show to remember. Even though there was a couple of issues with mics the festival ran on time which is great to say when every band had a different setup. “So I would like to say a big thank you to RockWich and the RockWich family and look forward to seeing you next year”!
